Zhi yun Crane M3 Pro Handheld 3-Axis Gimbal with Shotgun Mic & Expansion Base All in One Stabilizer for Mirrorless Camera Smartphone Action Camera

I've been using the Zhiyun Smooth Q3 Gimbal for about a year and I've been very happy with it's performance under a variety of conditions. It has helped me build a successful real estate sales business during that time. So, when I discovered a much more feature-rich gimbal from the same company, I decided to treat myself and I made the upgraded purchase. I am so glad that I did!I've now used the Crane M3 Pro gimbal for about two weeks... and WOW. This is a professional film-making device but is still great for my needs. The machined aluminum parts have a high quality feel to them right out of the box. I wasn't prepared for the number of improvements that are included. I fully expect my home sales will do better this year as a direct result of using this to take pictures and video chat with my buyers. Their decisions are largely based on how well I present a property. I encounter many out-of-state buyers and their only means of seeing a home is through the pictures and videos I provide. That being said, you can understand how a quality gimbal is hugely important.The included quick-start instructions are useful but the setup is intuitive enough that I was able to have the gimbal up and running in moments. The carry case is a major upgrade, too. Very stylish and has a pocket for everything. The addition of a responsive touch-screen made the system feel refined as though I were using another Apple product (I'm an iPhone user). The adjustable color temperature and quick-change magnetic filters (red, orange, yellow, and blue) on the fill light is a great feature and the placement of the remaining buttons is perfectly ergonomic.Attaching and calibrating my Canon SL2 was a breeze. I appreciate the added ability to lock each axis as needed. This way, I'm able to quickly adapt the gimbal to suit my needs- far too often I find myself filming an attic or crawlspace for a buyer's request. This eliminates the need to unmount the camera. I ran into a small snag in the beginning as I didn't have the appropriate cable to enable the M3 Pro to control my camera. I went to my local camera store and they provided a micro usb to usb-c cable for a few dollars. After that, my Canon worked like a rock star.I've recently made use of this gimbal personally, too. My son began playing soccer this year, and this gimbal makes him look so cool! The included professional quality microphone takes the films of his games to the next level. He's convinced that he looks and sounds like Pele with my dramatic camera work. :)If you're on the fence... just treat yourself and buy it. You'll be happy.

The media could not be loaded.  Guys my video says it all you can't ask for a better gimbal package ! I literally can not think of anything that this package doesn't have. The quality is A+ from the Gimbal to the carry bag I mean you grap this thing and it puts a smile on your face. it makes you want to use it and using it is super easy even if you never used a Gimbal before. Setup is a breeze the controls are user friendly I just can't say enough about this package ! The microphone and built in light just really puts this a step above all other Gimbal ! Trust me you won't be disappointed !! Your video footage will be awesome with this !
